WELCOME TO INCOM 2015
The 2015 IFAC Symposium on Information Control in Manufacturing (INCOM 2015) will be the 15th event in the rich tradition of triennial IFAC events in manufacturing sciences and information technologies. The general theme of INCOM 2015 is
Advanced Information and Manufacturing Systems for a Sustainable Economy.
Sustainable economic development, while preserving the planet's resources, is a great challenge in the 21st century. The true achievement of such an economic development model depends crucially on real and significant progress in advanced technologies and innovative methodologies at all levels of design, management, and control of the industrial infrastructure.

INCOM 2015 aims at the crossroads between scientists, researchers, decision makers, practitioners and students from all the diverse domains that impact economic development and productivity: information processing and control, robotics and automation, intelligent systems, advanced manufacturing technologies, safety and security, environmental and social aspects of manufacturing.

This conference will provide a remarkable opportunity for the academic and industrial communities to address new challenges, share solutions and discuss future research directions. The agenda will include plenary speeches, invited/special sessions, and industrial panel sessions. Contributions are expected from academia, industry, and government institutions and agencies.

We sincerely welcome our colleagues worldwide to join us for this conference in Canada's capital city in May 11-13, 2015.
